Excellent second 45 minutes, and a fair enough result over the 90 minutes. The whole team put in a shift, and never looked like they were in the mood to crumble as they have done in so many other big games in recent seasons.

Fazio 8

You have to also remember, Spurs have had a punishing schedule all season, United have only been playing once a week. But I have to say Spurs looked the much fitter side as the game wore on.

We should have been 3 up before you got going. Missed some absolute sitters though and end of the day, you have to put the ball in the Onion bag and we didn't do it.
Not unhappy with a point though. 9 game unbeaten run for us now (7 wins 2 draws) and our next 9 league games are against mid table / bottom half teams.
Point better for us probably going forwards.

Hoping Tottenham beat Chelsea to give us slim hope of catching one of the teams above us.

Fazio had a very good game

Fazio had 2/3 appalling slip ups that could have been punished. That chest to Vertonghen was ridiculous.
That being said, I was ridiculously impressed with his movement in their box, that near post run after the Kane cross was outrageous.

Good article and five <stars> for me
Also this is spot on:
===============
Mason was class second half.
I reckon he does exactly what Poch tells him to.
=====================================
To thins there is another Spurs fan here who's criticised Mason and thinks we who think he is a decent player are being fooled by him?
Back to the game:
United had that edge in experience, but when you look at our midfield pairing of Stambouli and Mason, they do lack premiership experience, against Rooney and Mata.
However, they both did well.
There is a battling quality to the team and we look like we can last the distance.
Well done to the fitness training

Getting carried away with media hype, aren't you?
Maybe next year...Until then, don't think the CL is in the bag yet

Fazio 8?!
Fazio had a great game. Won pretty well everything in the air, and caused problems up the other end as well. Definitely one of our better players today.

Fazio 8 .... Agree. Had a great game, second half anyways.
Mason 8? Well...... how about that sky over the bar at the end. Should have won the match right there.
